Hi there, I have some good news for you, last week I was asked if I'd like to join the Papelitos Design Team, of course I said yes, then the next day I was asked to join another DT, it always seems to come at once, unfortunetly there are only so many hours of playtime in a day so I had to decline the second one.

Papelitos Stamps are a company I found a few weeks ago, My Peter card from last week is one of Cristinas stamps, she is a very talented artist and a massive variety of stamps for all tastes, she is also adding plenty of new images as well. If you pop over to the papelitos stamps challenge blog you can see the wonderful creations from my fellow DT's. The theme this week is "Pretty in Pink" and I chose Machamama , isn't she great, I cooured her with copics and prismas, used K & Co papers, and pink gems, I found an old feather charm and some beads to make my embellies with. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, so I'm sure she's pretty in someones eyes.lol.

Hiya, its time for the challenge over at the paper shelter, and this week its everybody's favorite "Anything Goes". I chose Unusual Friends for my image, I coloured it with copics, used K & Co papers, a metal Friends brad that I coloured with copics, Nesties, Fiskars border punch and some pearls from my stash.

I'm really enjoying my break so far, except for this afternoon when my laptop broke!!!!!!!!!!! I spent four hours trying to fix it, with my very limited knowledge, then succombe and took it into Skegness for the little man to fix, my hubby has let me borrow his so I can post my blog, with strict instructions NOT to go on Facebook or he won't let me use it again, {but he is in the other room, he he he}

Well I found this new digi site, well new to me any way, and its called Papelitos Stamps, there are a wonderful assortment of styles on there, something for everyone. I chose this one its called Peter, and it so reminds me of all the kids going to art college in Lincoln.

Hi there, it was my turn to draw the sketch for this fortnights challenge at Friday sketch, I hope you like it, and have tie to join us, it runs for two weeks. You can turn rotate anything as long as we can still see the sketch your good to go. We are lucky enough to have two sponsors again.

We've been really busy at work this week, trying to get our work done so we can have a week off, that's one of the drawbacks working for yourself, you don't get paid holidays so we need to get two weeks work done in one so that we get wages for our week off, trouble is your so tired you can't be bothered to do much on your hols, but the break will be brill and I'm hoping to send some time with my family. perfect. and not forgetting a crafty hour or two.

Hi there, I thought I'd share my Fifty Shades card with you, I thought the sketch over at sketch and stash this week was perfect for this lovely digi from saturated-canary by Krista Smith called Grey Tie

I coloured her with copics, used nesties, silver grey ribbon, and the flourish die from spell binders.

I'm on book three at the moment, my Dad actually read them and really enjoyed them,lol.

He has one of those kindles and books are much cheaper, but personally I don't think you can beat the feel of a book in your hand,

Hi there, we have a great theme this week at the paper shelter its all about "circles"

I used Elf Knight , I chose this because it was the closest thing I had to a Horse racing theme,

It was my sons Birthday this week and we went to the racers to celebrate, I must say it was such fun , I've never been before and I really enjoyed it, there was only six races but I didn't manage to oick one single winner, in one race there was only four horses and mine still came last, but at least the jockey managed to stay on for that race.

Still back to my card, I coloured it with copics, used K & Co papers, nesties, Little Claire sentiment stamp, 3D laquer, and Button border die from Memory box.

Coloured with copics, I used First edition papers, Nesties, Marrianne flower die and wooden mushroom and butterfly that I coloured and glazed, with a few pearls on the mushroom and gems on the butterfly.
